7.9–8.4 GHz GaAs m.e.s.f.e.t. amplifier
A 4-stage balanced GaAs m.e.s.f.e.t. amplifier has been developed for the 7.9–8.4 GHz satellite-communication frequency band. Linear gain of 26±0.5dB and 150 mW power at 1 dB compression were obtained across the design band. The small-signal gain, phase linearity, group delay and noise figure are described as a function of frequency. Large-signal gain saturation, 3rd-order intermodulation distortion, gain and phase against temperature and a.m.-to-p.m. conversion data are also presented.
